A few additions re NYC - He would see deindustrialization and freeways and airports and lack of shipping in NYC, especially if he crossed a bridge. Also urban renewal, the removal of elevated train lines, and just a lot of changes at the everyday, sidewalk-level view - that endless stream of mall-like giant franchise windows would, I think, be the biggest change here. And people - different ethnic makeup, immigrants from lots of places not much represented in 1945, and the extreme gentrification of Manhattan. Right?
